Explanation
Rezoning Application Z07-024
APPLICANT: TongDa Auto Service; c/o Jocelyn Jiashun Li; 3395 Indianola Avenue; Columbus, Ohio 43214.
PROPOSED USE: Auto Body Repair Facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on September 13, 2007.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The proposed CPD, Commercial Planned Development District would provide for redevelopment of an abandoned service station with an auto body repair shop. The proposal is compatible with the zoning and development patterns of the area. The proposal is not technically consistent with The Indianola Avenue Corridor Plan (2003), which calls for commercial office use for the site. However the design of the building, with the bay doors facing north away from Indianola Avenue and the enclosed nature of the operation are consistent with the general intent of the Plan.
